Features: This book introduces the analysis, design, and implementation methods of open-loop and closed-loop control systems for the thermal propulsion systems of torpedoes using open-cycle, pump-fed, piston engines, and turbojet engines. The entire book discusses the working mechanism and mathematical models of torpedoes' thermal propulsion systems. It covers open-loop speed control methods based on pressure-regulating valves and flow-regulating valves, linear and nonlinear closed-loop speed control methods, various implementation forms of closed-loop speed control, microcontroller implementation of speed controllers, the operating range of open-cycle thermal propulsion torpedoes, and the automatic control of turbojet engine systems. The content is self-contained, with strong theoretical and readability. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in underwater weapon thermal propulsion disciplines at universities, as well as a reference for engineering professionals in related fields.
